Census of the State of Michigan, 1874 : Collected by the Supervisors and Assessors (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Census of the State of Michigan, 1874: Collected by the Supervisors and Assessors

The total population of Michigan at the time of taking the census of 1874 (between the first Monday of April and the third Monday of May), was This is exclusive of the population of the Manitou and Fox islands in Manitou county, and of the sparsely settled townships number 23 north, of ranges 3 and 4 east in Ogemaw county, the only territory in the State from which no returns have been received. The population of the islands in 1870 was 211, and we may perhaps estimate the population of the towns in Ogemaw county that have not reported at 58; these totals added to the above make an aggregate of It is not safe to assume that the population of the Man itou and Fox islands was greater in 1874 than 1870, since the townships of Manitou county from which reports have been received show a slight decrease.

This aggregate will doubtless be a disappointment to such as have estimated the population from the increase as shown by the several United States cen suses, - especially the average rate from 1860 to 1870.
